FOR THE HOT SEASON.
A Machine Which Turns Out a Glass {
Soda for "a Tenth of a Cent.

A Machine Which Turns Out a Glass OF
Soda for u Tenth of Cent.
A portable apparatus has recently been
constructed by which soda water can be re-
duced in cost from twelve cents to three cents
gallon. 1t has three cylinders, respectively
for gas, water and prepared soda water. The
gas cylinder, which holds twenty-five pounds
Of liquetied carbonic acid, is narrow, but
enormously strong, being capable of resisting
a pressure of 1000 pounds to the square inch
without bursting. When empty it can be
taken apart from the rest of the machine and
recharged where the carbonic acid gas is con-
densed Charged cylinders may also be OBJ
tanned from the natural gas wells on the
banks of the Rhine in Europe. The middle
cylinder is made like an ordinary hot water
reservoir, and holds about sixty gallons of
Croton water. 1t withstands a pressure Of
$50 pounds to the square inch. The third
cylinder is simply an ordinary soda water
drum, such as may be seen about stores
where aerated waters are sold on draught.
The process of liquefying or solidifying car
bonic acid gas is becoming an important in
dustry Many volumes of the gas are
pumped into a small chamber, which is kept
under freezing mixture, until condensation
and iquefaction is produced Until lately it
has been used chiefly for adding gas to lager
beer and for causing intense cold in the
laboratory; but fresh uses are being con-
stantly found for it.
Chemists who manufacture their own soda
water prepare this gas from marble dust,
which is carbonate of lime, and sulphuric
acid. The gas is then forced under pressure
into cylinder containing water, which is
then rolled about until the gas and water are
thoroughly mixed. when the carbonated
water constitutes the soda water of COM
merce. Many chemists have abandoned this
process, and get their soda water ready made
from the wholesale manufacturer.
BY the new process a cylinder OF hquefed
carbonic acid gas is capable of turning out 80
gallons of soda water. The gas passes from
the first cylinder into small chamber where
the pressure which is required for the re-
nainder OF the manufacture is regulated Il
is about seventy-five pounds to the square
inch. The gas Is then divided into two
streams; one being admitted into the top of
the second or water cylinder, while the other
passes into chamber through several in
jectors. \ pipe runs from the bottom of the
water cylinder TO this chamber, and as the
gas ruSheS through the fine noZZleS of the in
jectors il draws the water with it past valve.
The gas and water are by this time mixed,
but in order that they may become CON-
petely so a small turbine wheel obstructs
their course in such way that they are thor
oughly Incorporated after passing through it.
The third cylinder is connected with the
soda water fountain in the usual way. Two
gauges are added TO the apparatus 10 show
the amount of the presSures. In making soda
water by this method the cost OF five cent
glass is about one-tenth Of q cent-New York

agricultural report that the late rains had not done
much good to the crop had tendency to steady the
market. The market opened at 1x@3sc Tower than
Saturday.
Wheat operators who had calculated upon

This however, can be accounted for from the fact
that the offerings were quite large during the first

THE HOTEL DETECTIVE.
How He Thrives on the Vices and Weak
nesSes of Country Visitors

How He Thrives on the Vices and Weak
nesses of Country Visitors.
One OF the nuisances about the hotels of
New York is the hotel detective With one
or two exceptions he is considerably worse
than the average private detective On ac-
count Of being connected with the hotel he
has great facilities for making money in a
doubtful sort of way. heard story of one
of these fellows who had just been discharged,
and it convinced me that the hotel detective
can be very dangerous person to deal with
If he is devoid of principle Being connected
with the hotel he naturally learns all about
the business of the guests, and has little diff
Guilty in getting acquainted with them.
There is hardly an officer of the hotels who
makes so much money as these detectives
Outside of their duties in looking out for the
affairs of the hotels, they are allowed to act
as guides in showing guests the dark ways Of
city life. Nearly every night party of gen.
tlemen get together who are DESTROYS of see-
ing the city by gaslight and they engage the
detective TO pilot them about. For this he
is paid very literally by the gentlemen, and
he is also paid something by the owners of
the places where he takes them This, Of
course, IS part of his business but it gives
MN an opportunity to levy blackInail should
he see fit. | know one detective who escorted
very nice old gentleman, who is one of the
largest drygoods merchants in a prosperous
southern city, to the Arion ball a few months
ago. The old gentleman went simply out of
curiosity. At home he is very pious, and
is the superintendent of Sunday school. In
fact, he Is considered fanatic on religion.
After getting to the ball he was persuaded
by the detective to drink little wine. Not
being used TO it, it went to his head, and the
old man possibly did one or two silly things.
particularly for a Sunday school superin-
tendent. On his way home he remarked to
the detective that he would not have any

Tor $1,000. Only short time after his re-
turn home he got q message from the detec-
tive asking for the loan of $500. 1t was also
lntlmated to him that should the request be
refused an account of his conduct at the ball
would be made public at his home. The mer-
chant was veal enough to send his check for

number of similar things which were nothing

Journalism in Mexico.

Compared with the journalism of other
countries that of Mexico suffers in nearly
every point except taking life easy. Until
within five years, at any rate, the Mexican
editor was person of few cares and little
business push. Foreign news he and his
readers were content to receive by mail
domestic intelligence found its way into print
after the colonial method of letters of tray.
elers or communications from provincial
readers, local happenings appeared in the
shape largely of rumors, sifted down grad
ually INTO some semblance of fact, not as a
result OF investigation at first hand but of
balancing and weighing the accommodating
gossip. There was no system of reporting or
interviewing, no scoops" no news hot from
the wires. Indeed, the morning papers were
frequently for sale on the streets the evening
before. From this enviable state. brought
about in part by southern Incidence, in part
by the lack of means to rival the expensive
administration of an American newspaper.
Mexican journalists are being gradually
aroused. American competition on their own
ground IS one cause of disturbance growing
native and foreign demand for better methods
Is another. A half column OF news from En-.
rope and the United States by the Galveston
cable was the first innovation. Now an
agency furnishes about a column a dav by
telegraph from Ell Paso. Other improve
mentS are coming in. One incident of the
new order OF things cannot fail to be a
sharper struggle for existence which will, in
time, XIII OIL the more useless members of the
newspaper society. As yet, however, Mexican
editing continues to expend its strength in
writing furious or fattering leaders about
public men and affairs. and publishing the
political and social gossip Of the streets: it is
only rubbing its eyes open TO the Importance
of fresh and accurate news
We must allude with brevity to what is
really great feature in Mexican journalism
the literary department. The feuiileton of
the French papers is initiated, literary,
musical, and dramatic criticism is largely
INDUCED in, even Spanish jokes are not want
ing But the great outpouring of the native
genius is in the form of poetry. Ii sweeps in
like a deluge upon the editors, whom one would
call luckees did they not like and encourage
that sort of thing. One paper recently pub
lished a poem, THE Delirium of Love- of
such extravagantly high flown absurdity
that the critic of another journal was moved
to ridicuie, and suggested that the poem should
have been entitled THE Delirium of the
Author" whereupon the first named paper
admitted the justice of the structures but
averred that it was really forced TO publish
the verses, lnasmuch as they came to it highly
recommended as the first essay of a beginner
who ought to be encouraged. New York

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The result of the
Norwich election is crushing blow to the
conservatives and dissidents. who were con-
fdent that they would retain the seat. At
their clubs the news was received with con
sternation. Home rule clubs and centers
were correspondingly elated a week ago.
The conservative Standard said that the
Issue would be a trial of strength under
peculiarly significant circumstances. and
pointed out that though, Mr.. Drummer was
a large local employer, his opponent was a
member of an old Cheshire family that had
been seated In the country for centuries,
and had special claims for support OF every
unionist

WHOLLY WOMAN.

Believe me. dear, unyielding though be,
Ambitions flourish only IN the sun
In noisy daylight every race is run,
With lustry pride for all the world TO see
When darkness sinks the earth in mystery,
When eye or ear or sight or sound is none,
But death, tide that waits to bear US on,
And life. a loosening anchor in the sea,
When time and space are huge about the soul,
And ties of custom lost beyond recall.
And courage as garment in the flame.
Then all my spirit breaks without control,
Then the heart opens, then the hot tears fall
To prove me wholly woman that am.
